<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear QE community,<br><br></div>I wonder if there is a rule to choose acoustic sum rule. I set very tight convergence criterion for both pw.x (conv_thr = 1.0D-10) and ph.x(tr2_ph=1.0d-16). <br><br>When I applied asr="simple", the frequencies of the first 3 modes are not equal to zero, but a relatively small negative value. The low-frequency modes are affected, and there is no change in frequency number of high-frequency modes.<br># mode [cm-1] [THz] IR<br> 1 -1.27 -0.0381 0.0000<br> 2 -1.02 -0.0306 0.0000<br> 3 -0.48 -0.0143 0.0000<br> 4 50.74 1.5212 0.0042<br> 5 66.71 1.9999 0.0031<br> 6 76.72 2.3000 0.1024<br> 7 91.30 2.7372 0.0605<br> 8 92.44 2.7712 0.2996<br> 9 102.29 3.0666 0.2928<br> 10 107.09 3.2105 0.0402<br> 11 113.55 3.4043 0.3288<br> 12 117.59 3.5252 0.5163<br> 13 133.35 3.9977 0.0394<br> 14 136.70 4.0981 0.2142<br> 15 144.03 4.3179 0.4547<br> 16 158.41 4.7490 0.0742<br><br><br>If I employed asr="zero-dim" , the frequencies of the first 6 modes all become 0.
